New Sponsor and GIVEAWAY- Southpaw Crafts

Happy Friday, all! Today I want to introduce a new sponsor, Southpaw Crafts. (If you read to the end, there's a giveaway!)

Hello! I'm Margaret South, the CCO (chief creative officer) of Southpaw Crafts. I'm a lefty (southpaw) who was raised in the south. I now live in a different part of the south. I married a South and now I tease that I'm more South than he is!

I love music and books and witty/punny stuff. I love the moment when someone looks at my designs and says "I get it!" As a former piano teacher I realized it was hard to find cute and creative tote bags for all those music books. And as they say, "the rest is history." Of course I couldn't stop at just tote bags, I also make music car decals, music related jewelry, onesies, and other goodies.

I still teach piano, but only to my own children. You can read about my adventures and misadventures in teaching piano to my own children in my Music Monday posts on my blog Southpaw Crafts.

I recently added some book themed tote bags to my shop. Eventually my children (ages 11, 9, 7, 5, and almost 2 - it's an odd year around here) will learn to carry their own library books and keep track of their own library cards!

I'm excited for one of you to win your own tote bag (of your choice). Which one is your favorite?

Southpaw Crafts has some really cute designs! This saying is so me!

If you remember, Laura and I are both music majors and piano teachers, so we LOVE these designs!

Wouldn't this be cute for your music teacher's new baby? (or yours!)

Margaret generously sent me this Music Quote bag to try. I really love this quote!

It holds my kids piano books perfectly. The design is high quality heat trasfer vinyl. I'm really happy with mine, and I know you will be with yours.
